How hyle4888887/42webserv works

Webserv is a configurable C++98 HTTP server. Its principal workflow parses configuration at startup, opens listeners, receives and parses client requests, applies route-specific behavior, and returns HTTP responses; configured CGI requests run an external interpreter. The graph preserves documented static serving, uploads, redirects, directory listings, and error pages. Several runtime files were not excerpted, so their links rely on README statements; edges are omitted where neither excerpts nor documentation establish a relationship.
